Seriously, your feedback is appreciated. In fact, it's one way that you can give back to the site.
As for a paying for the site, I appreciate that some might be willing. Hubski isn't free for me, but it currently costs little, and I really enjoy working on it. However, at some point we might need revenue. One idea that I am entertaining is that Hubskiers could pay a subscription to have an ad-free version of the site. Only non-subscribed users would see ads. That said, I hate about 95% of all advertising, so we would be very hands-on about what type of ads could appear on the site, and how it would look. Ads become part of the experience, so advertisers owe the user something. If they can't provide it, we would be better off not having them. Still, I prefer not to needs ads at all, and am keeping an open mind on this.
